Designing a Mars Lander

I used mars yard to test and find different rovers. I had to drive 3 different types of rovers. I got to access lots of different cameras. This is my mars lander that I made in tinkercad.

 The Engineering Design Process. There are 6 actions in the design processing. The first one is Ask, the second one is imagine which is when you think up a sketch of what you’re going to do. Third one is the plan which is when you actually make the sketch. Forth one is create which is when you actually make what you’ve planned. Fifth one is when you experiment with what you have made. The last one is improve, that's when you add things to what you have already made to make it better.  

Mars rover simulation 

Today in class I learned how to record a video of me controlling my mars rover.

I learned how to manipulate the mars rover to more where I wanted it to. I could also move the camera on it, so I could see where I wanted to.  

Testing the Design using the Sphero Robots

We tested and debugged to see if the java script worked. We tested our design to make sure it could move in a square.

A bit about InSight

  It’s a mission to mars where they try to find out about the core of mars. They’re going to stick some tubes into mars to find out more about the core of mars.

They’re also using radio signals to measure the pull of mars. This will be done from one rover. 

At the moment we know nothing mars core. Hopefully this robot will show us more about it. Maybe it can give us more information about mars to make it more habitable for the future.
